DMI Crossover Alerts with Sequential Condition

I am looking to create an alert with a specific sequential condition: The alert should trigger only when two events occur in order.

First, the DI- (Directional Indicator minus) and DI+ (Directional Indicator plus) lines must cross each other. Following this event, and only if it occurs first, the second condition that must be met is the crossing of the ADX (Average Directional Index) line above a predefined level known as the 'Level Trend'. The alert is designed to activate only when these two conditions are fulfilled in this exact sequence.

I tried with ChatGPT4 but the alert isn't triggering or sounding. Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong and identify a solution?

The relevant part is here:
Code:
# Define a flag that turns on after DI- and DI+ cross and stays on for one bar
def crossFlag = if crossDi then 1 else if crossFlag[1] == 1 then 0 else crossFlag[1];

# Define the ADX crossing condition separately
def adxCrossingAboveTrend = adx crosses above Level_Trend;

# Now check if the ADX crossing happens after the DI cross
def alertCondition = crossFlag[1] == 1 and adxCrossingAboveTrend;

# The Alert function will then use this condition
Alert(alertCondition and alertOn, "Sequential Alert: DI- and DI+ crossed followed by ADX crossing above Level_Trend", Alert.Bar, Sound.Chimes);

Solution
I am looking to create an alert with a specific sequential condition: The alert should trigger only when two events occur in order.

First, the DI- (Directional Indicator minus) and DI+ (Directional Indicator plus) lines must cross each other. Following this event, and only if it occurs first, the second condition that must be met is the crossing of the ADX (Average Directional Index) line above a predefined level known as the 'Level Trend'. The alert is designed to activate only when these two conditions are fulfilled in this exact sequence.

I tried with ChatGPT4 but the alert isn't triggering or sounding. Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong and identify a solution?

The alert condition appears to occur rarely, but when it does the alert sounds.
The image shows a message alert and the chart where it occrred.

Solution
I am looking to create an alert with a specific sequential condition: The alert should trigger only when two events occur in order.

First, the DI- (Directional Indicator minus) and DI+ (Directional Indicator plus) lines must cross each other. Following this event, and only if it occurs first, the second condition that must be met is the crossing of the ADX (Average Directional Index) line above a predefined level known as the 'Level Trend'. The alert is designed to activate only when these two conditions are fulfilled in this exact sequence.

I tried with ChatGPT4 but the alert isn't triggering or sounding. Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong and identify a solution?

The relevant part is here:
Code:
# Define a flag that turns on after DI- and DI+ cross and stays on for one bar
def crossFlag = if crossDi then 1 else if crossFlag[1] == 1 then 0 else crossFlag[1];

# Define the ADX crossing condition separately
def adxCrossingAboveTrend = adx crosses above Level_Trend;

# Now check if the ADX crossing happens after the DI cross
def alertCondition = crossFlag[1] == 1 and adxCrossingAboveTrend;

# The Alert function will then use this condition
Alert(alertCondition and alertOn, "Sequential Alert: DI- and DI+ crossed followed by ADX crossing above Level_Trend", Alert.Bar, Sound.Chimes);
